Attendees will see a petrified forest with trees still standing as they were 75 million years ago and learn how to dig for dinosaur bones in the Sheridan College quarry south of Buffalo.
Participants will also learn to use lab equipment to preserve the bones and put together and label a display of rocks found in the Bighorn Mountains.

The class is July 1-2 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
